For me some of the best were The Lunachicks and Vandals (95, I think).
The worst was some band called Ozomatli. I think this was the Americana Tour.

^ You not into psychobilly? I haven't seen the horrorpops live yet, but their albums are pretty solid.

Haven't really seen a bad band open for them, probably because i've only seen them once headline their own show, the other time was warped tour.

But Frank Turner is just outstanding liv e.

the best was afi although they were more supporting rather than technically opening. the worst was the start, they werent that bad, just out of all the bands ive seen with the offspring they were the ones i liked the least!

I saw the start open for Goldfinger a while ago: wasn't impressed either.

Worst: New Found Glory and Vanilla Sky and that other band that played before them in Cologne.
Best: Janez Dedt and Sun Eats Hours

I saw them once at Summerfest last year, so I technically can't answer this question. But Time Again played right before The Offspring, i really didn't like them very much.
& AM Taxi played before Time Again, and they were AMAZING. (:

Send More Paramedics weren't that bad... were they?:oProbably more the fact that they made zero - no, less than zero impression on the crowd they were more of a killer than opener.

As for their actual tours,
probably The Living End, mxpx, Pennywise
(hard to pick)

and the worst - Cypress Hill
(very easy to pick)

True, but they were all so happy to see Vanilla Sky play. I think the crowd sucked, not the band;)
